[Integration of the mentally handicapped (author's transl)].
The integration of handicapped persons into the family and society has almost become a slogan. The expression is often used very uncritically, but the necessity for such efforts remains undisputed. Examples are given to show what approaches are possible and also what forms of integrational endeavors are unreasonable for the mentally handicapped and which are in no way always to be considered as suitable for the handicapped person. Under this catchword the full time establishments (institutions, psychiatric clinics with oligophrenic departments and homes) for the mentally handicapped are also considered, but equally critically. A discussion on the widely used nomenclature in the language of psychiatry, in textbooks or dictionaries which are not all encouraging for integration or even particularly human, is informative.
